The Father.in-Law of Hon. Thomas
Powell.
Wayne County Democrat.]

Bishop Edward Thomson, Bishop Of
the e. E. Church, and father-in-law to
Hon. Thomas E. Powell, the Democrat
ic candidate for Governor, was con-
verted in::Wooster and preached his first
sermon at Dalton, Wayne county, o.
He was born at Portsea, England, on
the 18th of October, 1910. The family
moved to America in 1918, and located
in Wooster early in 1920. The family
being in good circumstances, Edward
received the advantages of education.
His father was druggist, and he took
up the study of medicine. He attended
the medical department of the Universi-
ty of Pennsylvania, and received his
medical diploma when nineteen years
of age. He practiced medicine at
Jeromeville and Wooster. At that
time he was inclined to scepticism. He
made labored effort to disprove Chris
tianity and the effort opened his posi-
ton. It was some time after his reve-
lation to him that he surrended to the
truth. It was at a class meeting at G.
Eyster's, in Wooster, that he made open
profession of religion. His parents
were Baptists, and his father reluctant
ly consented to his becoming Method
list. He was baptised on the 29th of
April, 1882, and was licensed to exhort
the next day. On the first Of July,
1882, he was licensed to preach, and the
Conference at Dayton, Ohio, Septem.
Der 10, 1882, admitted him on trial, and
he preached his first sermon at Dalton.
He was endowed with rare gift OF
eloquence. So Wayne county should
feel complimented in the nomination Of
this great divine's son-in-law, Hon
Thomas E. Powell, to the Governor
ship of Ohio.

Labor Mus, be Protected.

When the protected mOnopolists-
who are annually adding millions OF
unearned dollars to their yearly store
through the operation Of tax laws which
enable them TO sell dear wares to the
people Of the United States by prevent
ing the people from buying cheaper
wares-fiad there is any disposition to
revise the tariff they at once set up the
cry: Labor must be protectedp They
always find superserviceable Journals
who either for love or for money are
ready to echo the cry.
But what is the occasion for 1t just at
this time?
Ten years ago, under the benign op-
Grafton of protective tariff, II was esti-
mated that there were three millions Of
workingmen In this country out Of en-
ployment. To this pass labor had been
i'prOtected.n Since that time an almost
invariable succession of fair crops has
brought to the country reasonable de-
gree of prosperity. But in the mean
time protection has done so little for
workingmen that there has never be-
fore been such q condition of unrest
among them. They are blindly striv-
ing to help themselves by banding
together in unions and secret societies
and by the organization ofpolitical par
ties to sustain the rates Of wages by
force. Protection has failed to protect
theme, and they are trying to protect
themselves.
While labor is thus pushed to the
wall the protected employers of labor
are f1ourishing. The coal monopolies,
the iron and steel monopolies, the oil
monopolies, and host of lesser mOnop-
OIies of one sort and another, are fat
and prosperous.
Pending this condition Of affairs,
through overtaxation the Federal
Treasury has become so engorged with
money taken unnecessarily from the
pockets of the people that reduction
Of taxes is imperative.
A proposition has been made by the
President to reduce the taxes on the
necessaries of life and on imported raw
materials necessary for use in our fac
tories and mills. The effects OF this
would be to cheaper the cost of living
which would be tantmount to q uni
versal increase in the rate Of wages
and to make more work, and more
profitable work, for laboring men by
also cheapening the cost of raw materi-
al upon which their labor would be ex-
pended. l
How is such change in the tariff to
thurt the laboring man?
The cry is willful deceit and delu'
sion. 1t no longer imposes upon work,
ingmen who have taken the pains to
open their eyes and instruct them
selves. The Record says, without fea
of intelligent contradiction, that thu
proposed modification of the tariff law
are entirely in the interest of American
labor.-PbaddeLphia Record.

certainly very much against Hester
She can hardly wonder that you sup
posed her guilty, and IL you plainly
state the facts Of the case"
But Mr.. Warfield went out, evidently
he had an opinion OF his own on the
subject.
IHester! MY poor little Hester"
She was still crouehing on the floor
by the cold stove. the brown curls fall
ing so as TO form q complete vail 10 her
face, and her forehead buried in her
hands, but she started nervousIy at the
sound of Mr.. Warfield's voice.
"I did not steal it." she whispered,
while slight shudder convulsed her
slender frame. "Indeed, indeed, sir,
don't know how it came there"
"But I do" said Mr.. Warfield, and
he told the whole story, watching, as
he did so, the color come back into
Hester's pale cheek and the light into
her eyes.
"And l may come back to work
now?" she faltered, half inquiringly.
Because l am poor, and there is my
little brother to keep in school and"-
"You can do as you like about that,
said Mr.. Warfield, "but / would rather
you would not"
Hester's countenance fell.
"Oh, sir; why not?n
Because, Hester, 1 want to marry
you, dearest, If you will be contented
with such grave, sober old husband
as shall make.
"Oh, Mr.. Warfield, are you in earn
est?"
"I have been in love with you for the
last six months, Hester. Little Hester
will you have me?'
So Hester went back to the worh
rooms no more. She had lost her situa
ton, but it was not on account Of any
missing sleeve button.

THE CHICAGO ENCAMPMENT.
The Concern Placed in the Hands of Re-
ceiver in Order to Escape the Sheriff

CHICAGO, Oct 1.-THE great" intsrnational
encampment was placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver this morning. General Bsntly and other
managers of the affair united in . petition to
Judge Garnett, this morning. that a receiver be
appointed, and tho court granted their petition
and A. III. Chetlain, son of General A. L. Chef
LAIN who has figured prominently in the man
agement, was appointed receiver. The Pc
titioners claimd that the intsrnatio
military encampment was corporation
under the laws of the State of Illi-
nois. having capital stock Of $40. 900, of which
$4,000 WAS held by the petitioners and 81, 900 by
Governor Beverage rs trustee that in carrying
on the enterprise they contracted a large in
debtedness, which they were unable meet as
it matured, and they feared that legal proceed
inGs were about to be taken against them to at
tempt to collect the same, but if the assets of
the corporation were seized by the various cred
itors they would be wholly insufficient to cover
the Indebtedness. They made the military en-
campment a party to the bill and prayed the
court to take the property under its control and
asked that the business be wound up.
The causes that led up to the collapse are at
trlbuted by those mysterious personages who
fit around the offices of the management to the
wicksdnsss of the gentlemen who rented space
and then failed to pay more than scant deposit
1t is also asserted that the com panies who won
the phantom prizes will institute legal proceed
ings for the recovery of the material pelf. 1--WE
have got large number of paid subscriptions
on our hands, but we expect to get them in in
time" said General Chetlain. Here are a lot
OF men rearing around looking for their
money. and if do not protect
ourselves and the others, why, the first
in will get his money, and the rest will get left.
We think we have got enough to make ends
meet entirely. Our offset in thus precipitating
events was the outcome of cool, calm and delb-
crate Judgment, and this thing was done solely
for the purpose of protecting anyone with a
claim. This is not making an assignment for
the benefit of the creditors. but il is simply an
arrangement being
treated alike The prize money will be paid
and we may say that there has not been any
trouble with any of tho teams, with the sxcsp-
tion of one company
The encampment will probably be brought to
a conclusion about Thursday next, the time
originally fixed for it's termination.

READY TO DO SOMETHING.
Mr.. Fletcher Will Close Contract for Pipe
When the Gas Ordinance is Changed.

Allen NJ Fletcher will be home this morning
from Pittsburg when the necessary steps will be
taken, il is said to have q called meeting of the
Council to consider the amendments to the
natural-gas ordinance the indianapolis company
desires. "Mr Fletcher" said gentleman last
evening, 'has his negotiations at Pttsburg in
such shape that within hour aftcr the amend
ments are passed he can telegraph to the par
ties there to close at once contracts for pipe and
the purchase Of the Guffey wells and leases.
There N ust be no delay In this matter for the
company wants to begin laying pipe next Mon
day." A councilman, who has been one of the
stalwarts in resisting any amendments to the
ordinance, after an experience with the Doxey
scheme. has modified his views to some extent.
He said last evening: II don't want to have my
name used in an interview for would have no
peace for tho rest OF the week. The Journals
article this morning stirred uD the people who
are opposed TO any amendment of the ordinance.
and they took possession of my Office in urging
me to stand firm"
''If the Indianapolis company offers sufficient
bond that 1t will bring gas here by Jan. !. will
You vote to increase tho schedule of prces2'
II may, for there is another consideration to
take into account. IL We expect to get any
benefit from gas. now is our chance l believe
that by waiting year or two We get gas at
the ordinance prices, but in the meantime are
looked upon as letting opportunities escape us.
People will call US old fogiss who do not know O
good thing when we have it shown to us. Other
places whore natural gas can be had are getting
the benefits that would have come to US. Yes,
l think l will favor any reasonable change in
the ordinance that will bring Us gas"
Another councilman who heretofore could
hardly bear the men ton of amendment to
the ordinanc without tearing his hair, said: 81

but if it can be had only by increasing the
prices, suppose / must stand IL. have talked
with other councmen, but for myself I
think will favor amendments to the ordinance
